I’m a Singaporean with Malaysian grandparents.

My grandmother just passed away and I haven’t been able to see her for more than a year. My grandfather is 87 this year and he isn’t very healthy anymore. Doctors said he could go at any time.

I really hope our two governments can work together to come up with a plan for borders to open because I don’t know about other Singaporeans, but for Singaporeans like me with ageing family members in Malaysia, it has been a nightmare. Singapore and Malaysia aren’t like any other pair of countries. These borders have actually separated many families.

Instead of pushing to find solutions with countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan, I hope the SG government can really try to work with the Malaysian government to come up with some solution for cross-border travel for the vaccinated (subject to a test). Many of us have family in Malaysia and I know it probably doesn’t mean much to our cold-hearted, uncaring politicians and some of our less compassionate compatriots, but at least understand that our foreign policy can’t be to just “wait for something to happen with the other guy.”I don’t like the Malaysian government either.

I think they are incompetent, arrogant, and corrupt. But I really doubt a solution can’t be reached. There just needs to be some framework for cross-border travel to resume for the vaccinated. Please. Our politicians are supposed to the best at foreign policy.

You mean to tell me there isn’t a political science course called “how to deal with third-world governments” that someone in MFA must have taken? I’m begging you. Please.

I want to spend time with my grandfather before he leaves us.

A truck was spotted laying on its side at Robinson road, a man in blue was seen sitting at the side of the road.

Netizens said that the man sitting down is the injured driver who managed to crawl out of his vehicle.

SCDF rushed to the scene to provide aid, at least two ambulances and a fire truck was spotted.

A man told his friend that anyone that sleeps with him is pure love and blindly believes in it as if he never heard of ONS and fling.

Here is the story:

I have a friend that tells me if got woman sleep with him means “love”, knn i tried to convince him and tell him love is not as simple as going to bed together.

He said that he recently met a girl through a friend and they started sleeping together a few days after knowing each other. He then told me that he has fall in love with the girl and thinks that the girl loves him as well.

I told him if the girl knows you 2 days can sleep with you like that sure unsafe mah plus you barely know the person how can it be love.

I told him: A key that can open any lock is a good key, but a lock that can be open by any key is a bad lock.

He doesn’t get it and insist that it’s love. These are his exact words: “She sleeps with me means she loves me, I don’t think in this world people will just sleep around for no reason”

I answered him: “Hello brother you go Geylang pay $50, means the girl love you ah? Or if the person got moustache means it’s your father ah?”

He thinks that I blowing it out of proportion and stop talking to me for over a week. Only until yesterday, he apologizes to me and said that he was “used” and the girl not only “eat” him but borrowed money from him. I F him upside down and he told me he lend her $300.

I told him, “you see my point same as you go to Geylang. No difference. Hope you don’t get any additional illnesses aside from your stupid disease.”

Moral of the story, no such thing as free lunch.
